October has featured a number of beautiful kits, and I’m happy to send out the month on a very high note!  This unique set of Phattie Drums features a deep purple stain with a Kandy black burst topped in a high gloss lacquer.  Under the beautiful clear coat is a 1/4″ silver leaf inlay that compliments the chrome hardware perfectly.  The sizes include 10″x8″, 12″x9″, and 14″x10″ rack toms, 16″x14″ floor tom, 22″x18″ bass and a matching 14″x6.5″ snare.  Custom touches include chrome Pearl Optimounts, 1/4″ silver leaf inlay, diecast hoops on the snare and tear-drop style lugs all around.  Check it out:

Another drum that doubles as a beautiful work of art has rolled out of the shop!  This 14″x7″  snare drum sounds every bit as good as it looks, featuring a 1-ply maple shell with 1-ply reinforcement rings that support a wide bearing edge with a full round over.  1-Ply steam bent hoops are the perfect upgrade and give the drum a nice fat sound and a timeless look.  Custom touches include 1/4″ Paua Abalone inlays in the center of the shell and both wood hoops, brushed-satin finished hardware and matching stainless steel fasteners all around.  A Dunnett R4 strainer with quick-release, Evans heads, and Puresound wires complete this package.  Check it out:

by Dennis
September 9th, 2011

On the heels of a fair bit of abalone inlay work we’ve done recently comes a beautiful Phattie Hybrid snare that features more than just an inlay.  Featuring a 13″x8″ shell made up of two maple sections and a clear acrylic center, the 10-ply maple is finished in real Paua Abalone shell for a beautiful look unlike anything else.  Complimenting the stunning finish are solid brass tube lugs, a Trick GS007 strainer, Puresound snare wires, stainless steel fasteners and our precision craftsmanship.  A laser engraved Phattie badge completes the package, check it out:
